Portable Truss Anchor Kit

Installing the Portable Truss Anchor Fall Protection SystemTo install, thread the anchor to the telescoping extension pole, attach the SRL, and position the anchor between the bottom truss cord angles, rotate 90° and set on the angles. The resulting portable fall arrest system allows the system to be used at multiple locations throughout your facility.

The Portable Truss Anchor is rated for one single user and designed for use with K, KCS, LH, or DLH series truss systems capable of withstanding a concentrated load of 1,800 pounds.

Anchor Placement NotesTruss anchorage locations must be approved by a safety engineer or a qualified person and must meet all of the requirements noted in the Connect Safe Permanent Truss Anchor Instruction Manual. A few important notes on anchor placement:

Do not install at the end of a truss

Do not install between the first and second panel point

Do install located between two panel points.

Install as close as possible to a panel point

Truss ConsiderationsTo ensure safe operation of your portable fall protection system, it is important to carefully inspect your building’s truss system and adhere to the following guidelines:

Bracing shall be straight, undamaged, and meet the original design intent

The span and loading of the truss affects the allowable concentrated load that may be applied to the truss. It must be capable of withstanding a concentrated load of 900 pounds with a safety factor of two (2) for certified anchorages and 5000 pounds for non-certified anchorages

No more than one user is permitted at a time per truss

Do not attach to a truss that is smaller than 18 inches in height

An acceptable truss must be designed according to the Steel Joist Institute (SJI) and be a K, KCS, LH, or DLH series truss

It is vital that the truss system is inspected by an engineer or qualified person for structural integrity which includes (but is not limited to) corrosion, end connections, size, load capacity, welds, existing loading, bracing, span, or any other unsafe conditions
